Meet the Team

Matthew Hallock

President

Matthew believes in the power of great creative. He talks about it all the time, proselytizes it to clients and has built a team dripping with talent. The Voice reflects his tenet that the answer is not social networking and marketing automation — those are just tools. Great advertising was, is and always will be built on great ideas.

In addition to a 25-year career as an advertising creative, he also studies the History of Advertising. Matthew believes it is the best reflection of society’s values at any given time. He has taught the topic for many years at colleges such as Fairfield University, Yale and the School of Visual Arts, New York City. His dual background created the foundation for The Voice, a fertile environment where talented professionals thrive and clients profit.

Vincent Giandurco

Senior Account Manager

Years of experience in public relations, communications, and integrated marketing helped Vince help clients to build brands and grow revenue. Business development and ROI from the Communications function are his core focus. Vince’s strategic message management skills have been honed over decades of C-level counsel. His capabilities include message development; branding; marketing communications; campaign research, strategy and execution; team-building; media relations; and channel development.

Sam Nipius

Account/SEO Coordinator

Sam was our first international intern and graduated from our internship program in June. His curious mentality and academic background make him a strong addition to the team. As an account coordinator he is a capable at multi-tasking and is continuously involved with every project at the Voice. Sam manages to find the necessary information when put in a situation where he doesn’t know, “I love to be thrown in the deep end and quickly finding answers”. Starting September he will start his Master’s in marketing at the Rotterdam School of Management. While in school Sam will remain apart of the team and work remotely with The Voice.

Daniel Randmer

Video Production Services

Dan came to The Voice via Sacred Heart University’s Masters in Communication program. After a successful internship at The Voice, he has quickly become one of the firm’s most sought-after and successful talents. Technically listed a hybrid swingman, working in both the account services and creative departments, Dan has increasingly applied his talents in our burgeoning video production department. He comes to The Voice after years honing his skills as a director/cameraman for a variety of clients, including Killington (VT) ski resort.

Our Facility

The Voice is The Ad House: an all-in-one environment where emerging talent can live, study and/or work on real projects for actual clients. We have several apartments for rent for apprentices. The building is basically bifurcated, with apartments in the back half and upstairs and the front half tricked out like an ad agency with blond hardwood floors and white walls. Major advertising and design movements grace the walls. The basement is The Whitebox production studio, a 1500-square foot space for video productions and still photography shoots. We love this place — take a tour!
